(Author's note: This is an article that was published by Don Wassall on his excellent site, Caste Football, a few years ago. Although Wes Welker is no longer playing football, and many of the other names have changed, as well, the situation for White receivers hasn't changed at all. Other than the names, almost every word of this article is still relevant today!)

It's no secret that the NFL discriminates against White athletes, particularly in the so-called "skill positions"...
